Bidding farewell to the envious members of the Family Court, Susu wiped the sweat from her head; standing and chatting under the blazing sun was both scorching and unpleasant.
Worried that her mother-in-law and Little Aunt couldn't handle the three little rascals in her absence, Susu nearly pedaled her bicycle to the point of sparking flames.
Beads of sweat ran down from under her straw hat, her entire face flushed and hot like a walking tomato.
On this day,
Xiao Sun pushed his bicycle to the doorway, with a large burlap sack of goods hanging from the front bar.
Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiaogu, who were busy drawing water in the yard, quickly went forward to help steady the bike and carry the items.
Frowning, Mrs. Lu said, "You child, it's fine to come over, but why did you bring so much stuff again? When you leave, take it back for Xian Yue and the baby in her belly to eat."
